MASKS AT D2 BETWEEN OVINGTON AND BAYRIDGE AVE

Just a heads they have masks in stock at semi decent prices 10x pack for $17 and box of 50x for $70, much better than the 1x for $10 some of the ‘juice stores’ in the area are charging. Stay safe!

Edit: Just want to say I am in no way condoning the practice of what these stores are doing, but I was so surprised to see some for sale so publicly I thought to share it here. Stay safe everyone!

Open laundromats

The two laundry places we use in the neighborhood are closed. I’ve called a few others with no response. Anyone know of any laundry places that are definitely open currently?

Confirmed Corona Virus in Bay Ridge?

Hi All,

Is anyone aware of any confirmed corona cases in Bay Ridge? NYC is a hot spot, but I'm personally unaware of any confirmed cases in the area. Perhaps this is due to a lack of testing and many undiagnosed cases that will ultimately self resolve?

Hope everyone's managing to stay safe and healthy.

Bay Ridge men likely not to be infected as much by CV19.

The nut tap does not transmit the infection.

Anyone interested in an NYC-specific subreddit for Coronavirus info/discussion?

I started a subreddit today for NYC-specific coronavirus information at r/nycCoronavirus

Hoping it will be useful in the coming weeks. It's still in its infancy, please post and comment if you can!

Is the HUM back?

I think that I'm hearing a continuous thunder like hum in the background. It gets worse at night when all other noise quiets down. It disrupts my sleep to the point of waking up to a really bad sensation of trembling in my body especially legs. It's kinda maddening since I couldn't find an exact source although I walked up and down through 3rd -4th -5th aves.

I made a few searches and it turns out this is a quite frequent annoyance around southern Brooklyn. Noise is generally a big problem here but this one is very bad, at least for me. Can anyone else hear it or is it just me?

Hi New to the Area Advice

Hi! I'm a 30+/f recently moved to Dyker Heights from Queens. What cool places should I check out in the neighborhood and surrounding area? Would love to find bars, social events, anything interesting. Not looking for singles events or children's activities. If you know where to find the good gluten free spots that would be even better! TIA!

Does the Owls Head wastewater treatment plant smell bad?

Hey, thinking of moving to the area with my wife. I'll be on the corner of Bay Ridge Ave and Shore Rd.

I know this plant used to stink up the whole area in 2011 or so. Then I know they did some upgrades on it to reduce the smell.

How is the smell now?

How is Owl's Head Park?

I would really appreciate a detailed answer :)

Thank you.

Real Talk

Has anyone seen that sports car with the american flag on the side with a dude's name next to it? It has a snow camo paintjob on it. I've been seein it for at least a year, and yet, I've never seen anyone drive it. It's just always in different places in the mid 80's. It's really weird.

Free Futon

I am trying to find a good home for a used but good condition futon. I live near Ridge and 68th Street. I cannot deliver, but can help bring it down from our 4th floor walk up.

It has a frame similar to this: https://images.app.goo.gl/1WAUCveMHmrKBJ7g8. The cover is replaceable and we may even have an extra cover.

DM if you are interested.

Sad to see it go. I’d keep it if the wife did not want to redecorate.

Vet recommendations near Bay Ridge?

My dog really needs a teeth cleaning and I’ve had anxiety about putting him under anesthesia so I’ve been putting it off. We used to go to 4 Legged Friends in Bensonhurst and recently just visit Fifth Avenue Veterinary Hospital since we’ve moved to Bay Ridge. However, we don’t have a good feeling about the latter because the vet tends to add random costs to our bill on the fly and does not like to give us an estimate because “it depends”. There’s a few scary reviews on every nearby vet on Yelp so I just wanted to get your opinion on which ones you trust. Thanks so much!

Moving to Bay Ridge Questions

Hi all,

My wife, my daughter (1 Year Old), and I are thinking of moving to Bay Ridge Brooklyn. We currently live in Long Island but my wife works in Gravesend so her commute is currently 2 hours so we'd like to move closer. We have visited Bay Ridge and love it, but was wondering if anyone had insight to the below questions:

  1. Are there any areas in Bay Ridge specifically we should be looking at? We'd love to live in a section of Bay Ridge more catered to a families.

  2. What is the best way to commute to Mid-Town? I hear a lot of people say the Express Bus is the way to go.

  3. How are the public schools? Any schools we should avoid?

Thank you all!

Any summer camp/daycare recommendations in Bay Ridge?

Hello,

My ex and 9 year old son are moving from Queens to Bay Ridge in a few months. Do you have any insight on good/affordable summer camps/day care in the area for that age group? Or can you help point me in the right direction on who would know? Thanks!

PSA: Lobo Loco Credit/Debit Fee

Just FYI to anyone who wants to eat at Lobo Loco on 86th & 3rd. They now charge a 3.95% fee when using plastic. Thankfully we had cash when we went. The receipt even showed the difference between paying cash and with credit/debit.

When asking staff they said it’s a new NYC law to promote cash into businesses. I haven’t seen any other places in Bay Ridge doing this.

Bake Ridge Bagels

Anyone know what’s going on with Bake Ridge Bagels on 3rd & 95th? They had an original sign that said closed for renovation and now there is a new sign that says closed for renovation until February 21.

When looking inside you can see all the food still sitting there so I think something is definitely up.

Anyone know what’s going on?
